Different Types Of ID Coders

By Keren Kipfer


Number markings on the labels of products can help in traceability of these products, and this is used in a number of industries particularly in all types of foods and many beverages. There are special machines that help in this process adding these codes and identification numbers. The objective of this ID technology is to provide data and information and make tracing of products easy in case of possible future concerns. The printers that apply these IDs onto product packages are known sometimes as ID coders and sometimes as ID printers. Manufacturers can have choices of these machine types because there several to choose.

These id coders are machines that print information on the products such as production batch information and expiration dates, serial numbers, and other data that helps in the identification of products. These machine coders can print data and numbers on any surface type like cardboard boxes, plastic, glass and other types of packaging materials. Printing done by these machine coders and printers is fast and the ink dry quickly. With these numbers on the labels, customers and producers can have ease in tracing in case there are concerns regarding the products or they simple need to know by what date their food should be consumed.

These id coders and printers can be the CIJ type or the continuous ink jet coder or the DOD type, which is the drop on demand coder. The CIJ printer produces a stream of small ink droplets which are the means to print the numbers on the product labels. Unused ink droplets are cycled back and reused in printing. DOD printers use a print head with open nozzles and electrical pulse is used in the printing process. Each of these machine printer types has its advantages and also disadvantages, and it's only for the buyer to choose which is to his benefit.

CIJ printers and the CIJ technology have been around for long while the DOD technology is the newer innovations and more modern. With DOD, a high resolution production can be expected from the prints derived. With CIJ, the ink is continuously circulated throughout the printer while with DOD; the ink is only dispersed when used. The DOD printing technology is simpler and yet produces the high resolution prints. However, the fine nozzles of the print head are very demanding in the designing process.

Id printer and coder machines are great to possess but there is also an alternative, buying the refurnished machines, and still one can expect great results. When one buys the refurbished machines, a lot of savings can be derived. Refurbished printer and coder machines like Domino coders, Willet coders, Video Jet coders, and other machine brands are available from these companies. Buyers can expect a lot of savings from these refurbished machines and they also get great printing results. Companies that sell these refurbished machines not only sell the products but also repair coder machines.

Generic ink for these machines also is sold by the ID printing companies that sell refurbished printer and coder machines, and PrintJet.net is one of these companies. The inexpensive ink types sold by these companies include specially formulated generic versions of Altima ink, Videojet ink, Domino inks, Imaje ink, Maxima ink and other major brands. Because you will be buying ink again and again, purchasing from an ID product company will save you a great deal of money.
